As a Mum I have raised my kids with the rule that if someone hits them they should hit back.
No Mum wants their kids getting bullied so I reckon if they stand up for themselves from the off we might be ok!
4 year old and sister have been out playing with their friends since school finished, They have both just returned home in a state of panic. 4 year old is screaming blue murder and 8 year old looks flushed! After calming them down I am told that 4 year old has just retaliated after being hit by an older child twice his age. I am assured by both that the older boy hit 4 year old first.
So I'm thinking "well good for you son, hitting him back!" However....
I am then informed that 4 year old decided to hit the older boy back ...with a bloody big stick in the face!!
The older boy now has his nose spread about his face and was last seen pouring with blood heading home!
Oh Dear!
As the older boy is in fact a friend and neighbours son...I send my better half to his home to see if he's ok.
Apart from his nose being a mess and him bleeding into the sink his Mother assures us he is fine!
Phew! Thankfully his parents have taken it very well. It's a good job I'm a nice neighbour!!
Me thinks perhaps 4 year old took matters a bit too far... Me also thinks it's highly likely Older boys will think twice about hitting him again!!!

I'm A Saddo...
I don't know what's happening to me, really I don't. I mean normally my taste in men is impeccable..Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Tom Cruise, David Beckham, Jude Law, Matthew McConaughey, David Ginola, Val Kilmer, Marti Pellow...the list goes on and on.
Recently though I have been affected by a strange disease which has seen me develop what I can only describe as "crushes" on the unlikliest of men. I blame reality TV and in particular those "celebrity" versions.
It all began about a year ago during an episode of "I'm a celebrity..." I suddenly realised I had developed a "crush" on Lord Charlie Brockett!!! Shocking eh? But it gets worse...he was followed by Shane from Boyzone, Paul Burrell the Royal Butler & James Hewitt, Prince Harry's Dad!! I am now utterly beyond help.
To make it worse this "thing" has not gone away. I am now currently having a "crush" on Jean-Chrostophe Novelli - which is perfectly understandable being as how he's french, dark and lovely but really Gary Rhodes????
The good thing is these "crushes" pass as soon as the shows over...Hell's Kitchen ends tonight!!
For now I'm off to lie down in a dark room and have a good long word with myself.

ps That Angus Deaytons a bit of alright eh?

Butterfly Friends
How annoying is it when you have a friend whom you really like but who pisses you off more than anything in the world except micra drivers?
I'll tell you...bloody annoying. I call them "butterfly friends". They are the sort that live in your pocket for a while...share everything with you, phone you in a crisis, phone you as soon as the corkscrew comes out!
Then in true butterfly style they flit of to the next flavour of the month leaving you in their wake. The phone calls become fewer, you are replaced at the bottle opening by someone else and your place in the sharing of their problems is obsolete.
There is of course a reason why Butterfly Friends act like this. Butterfly friends are unable to play nice with more than one friend at a time, they need to have a one-on-one friend. They are the sort of friends who get restless. They are the sort of friends who may have disliked something you said or did but rather than deal with confrontation they back off and move on.
Of course while the constant moving of the butterfly friend is slightly irritating, the more annoying part of the butterfly friend is their need to keep you in the background and still expect you to be there for them when they need you. They will act as though they have done nothing wrong...mainly becasue they don't realise they have!! However, should you be the only person who can help them...they are on the phone.
Butterfly friends soon run out of people to flit to...when that happens they have lots of aquaintances but no real friends.
I have a butterfly friend...I really like her and I still consider her a close friend and someone I hope I will know for a long time...but sadly I along with others have been left in her wake as she moves on. I will be there when she has no one else to flit to but I fear I will be an aquaintance and not a real friend by then.

My Opinion...You're Entitled To It
So I said to you all a few posts ago that I knew how I was going to vote and for why. I have known for a while now what my preference was going to be..I can confirm that the lines are closed and the results have been verified...the winner in this years "who will jenny vote for?" competition is....
The Labour Party.
Why? Simple. The alternatives don't bear thinking about.
I was one of Thatchers children. I grew up under a Tory government.
I was at school learning about how my country was great. How we fought bad guys in the war and won. How we used to own half the world. How it was great to be British. At the same time our Government of the day was destoying out country right under our noses.
I grew up in a country... in recession, with mass unemployment, where the rich got richer and the poor got poorer, where house repossesion was rife, where intrest rates were crippling, where people lost all that they had worked to get, where mass strikes took place, where all our national companies were sold off, where lifetimes of industry were killed off, where Scottish people became second class citizens and guinea pigs for policies, where Poll Tax caused grief, families were torn apart by poor wages and fathers could not support their children.
I no longer live in a country like that....I still live in a country with problems...but who doesn't??. I now live in a country where unemployment is at it's lowest levels in decades, intrest rates are at their lowest levels in decades and I can afford to support my family. My Council Tax may increase every year but it's still less by half than my parents paid in Poll Tax each year. I may pay more tax but I get it back in Tax Credits which help me spend time with my children and not need to work full time to keep them.
As for the war in Iraq which seems to be the main reason people are dissing Tony Blair, let me say this...65 years ago we got involved in a war to rid the world of a dictator. To liberate people and give them back their freedom. We lost thousands upon thousands of men, our cities were destroyed and our people lived on rations. We made our leader at that time a Sir, we worshipped him.
In Iraq we did the same thing...got rid of a dictator, liberated people and gave them freedom. How come our opinions are now so very different? Now we want to fry our Leader for doing the same thing!
So I will vote Labour... I will vote for a final term of Tony Blair in charge. I will vote for the party that have made big improvements in turning our fortunes around. I will vote for the party who have the strongest Scottish politician, Gordon Brown.
Who will you vote for? You decide.

Colleen McLoughlin...Chav Princess!
Wayne Rooney slapped his girlfriend. He had probably just had her credit card bill in.
Colleen has played the whole event down. The press have gone wild calling Wayne a thug and have had their "experts" in advising Coleen to dump him.
Get a grip...I once hit my other half with a large tub of nappy cream in fit of petulance, he then threw a wet nappy at my head! Anyone with kids will tell you a wet nappy and a large tub of sudocreme can do damage to your head! Did we split up? No. We pissed ourselves laughing about it!
There is a time when domestic violence cannot be tolerated but there are times when we all momentarily do things in the heat of the moment that is silly or totally out of character.
I don't think of myself as a husband beater or my better half as a wife beater! I'll bet many a couple up and down the land have been in the same boat (although maybe not with a nappy and a tub of cream!!)
Colleen knows the script..she is a lass from a council estate background who's boyfriend happened to be talented and make the big time. She is living the dream. She has the money, the house, the cars, the credit cards. She is a chav (or ned as we scots call them) girl who is making the most of her break.
Maybe it will all go pear shaped for them. Who knows? Who cares?
What I do know is that Colleen would walk away with c list celebrity status, money in her pocket and probably her own chat show on itv 1 in the morning!

All Hail...Benedict The Dictator
So the Catholics have got their new Pope.
Good for them.
Tell me this though...if any country has a leader who is homophobic, racist, intolerant, facist, dictorial, sexist and uncompromising what would happen?
I'll tell you..the civilised world would enforce sanctions on them to get change, they would exclude the country from international committees and inevitably the USA would start a conflict with them and we would all join in.
Pope Benedict XVI is all of the things described above.
It may be coincidence but wasn't Hitler all of these things as well.
So how come we were willing to lose the lives of thousands and thousands of soldiers and civillians to rid the world of one such character yet we are openly applauding the election of another?
Beats me.

A New Enemy....
I am a woman at war.
There is a new enemy in my sights. It is sneaky, determined and always increasing in numbers. It is so far proving resistant to my weapons to destroy it.
It is head lice.
My 8 year old has got a head full. She's now had them for the best part of 3 months. I have treated her hair with everything under the sun, chemicals, conditioners, shampoo's, organic oils...but the little buggers just keep coming back. I might try weapons of mass destruction next...it's about all I haven't used!!!!
I spend hours combing, treating, washing and combing again, my 8 year olds hair but alas I am still getting nowhere.
I will not be beaten...I am now offically at war with these little critters and such is my obsession that I am actually feeling elated each time I crush one of them to death! I am now taking their refusal to die personally.
Of course if perhaps my child's school had a bloody nit nurse we might get a bit of assistance in sorting this out. It's all very well me treating my child but if some other parent doesn't we're back at square one again. I'm not alone here. Most of my child's friends are going through the same thing...we used to sit over coffee gossiping about the goings on in our street now we chat about nits!!!
Anyhow Nit stuff should be free...it's costing me a bloody fortune!!
Wish me luck..I'm off big beast hunting again!!

I Love Blackpool!!!
Not been on here for a few days...went to Tackpool..I mean Blackpool for a wee overnight jaunt with the troops and the neighbours.
I love Blackpool...the tower, the pleasure beach, the promenade...I just love it.
There's nowhere else you can go on any ordinary weekend and see grown adults walking around with afro wigs, strange hats and fancy dress like it's perfectly normal and they do it all the time. Best thing is no-one bats an eye!
I like a good expensive hotel as much as the next person, but there's something about a B&B in Blackpool that you can't beat. Maybe it's the funny smell they seem to have, or maybe just the decor which is always throw back tack from a lost era!
Anyway...did all the rides, ate fish and chips, went up the tower and strolled along the prom.
A good weekend was had by all!

A Few Jokes To Start The Day...
Here's a few jokes I have heard over the last few days....
A man phones his doctors surgery to get his wife’s test results.
“I’m sorry” Says the receptionist “but I’m not sure I can give you them, you see we appear to have another patient with the same name and date of birth as your wife, I can’t be sure who’s results are who’s and since one is for an aids test and the other for alzheimers I’d hate to mix them up”
“jesus” says the husband “What are we going to do?”
“Well there is something that can be done” the receptionist tells him.
“What?” asks the husband.
“Send your wife out for a walk…and if she comes back don’t shag her!!”
One bright, beautiful Sunday morning, everyone in tiny Smithville wakes up early and goes to their local church. Before the service starts, the townspeople sit in their pews and talk about their lives, their families, etc.
Suddenly, at the altar, Satan appears!! Everyone starts screaming and running for the front entrance, trampling each other in their determined efforts to get away from Evil Incarnate. Soon, everyone is evacuated from the church except for one man, who sits calmly in his pew, seemingly oblivious to the fact that God's ultimate enemy is in his presence. This confuses Satan a bit.
Satan walks up to the man and says, "Hey, don't you know who I am?"
The man says, "Yep, sure do."
Satan says, "Well, aren't you afraid of me?"
The man says, "Nope, sure ain't."
Satan, perturbed, says, "And why aren't you afraid of me?"
"Well," Says the man "Your family aren't you? after all I've been married to your sister for 25 years."
Och well...on with another day...

Ipod's Save Marriages...Official!!
Forget Therapy, marriage guidance and counselling. Ipod's are the thing you need to make your relationship better.
I've got one and so has my significant other. Today we have both been sitting round the house with our respective Ipod's attached to us. We haven't spoken for about 3 hours but occasionally we smile across the room at each other. Listening to your favourite music just makes you happy. Chills you out.
So I am happy...listening to my "girlie crap" while he sits happily listening to his "noise".
No arguments, no cross words - unless one of us sings out loud!
So there you have it - proof that Ipods are good for your love life...Official.

African Adventure...
Ross, my friend and fellow genius, is going to Africa at the end of the month.
His blog http://cnut.blogspot.com is full of all the things he'll be doing and all the places he'll be going as well as lot's of posts from him which show the excitement building!
One of the things I enjoy most in life is seeing other people get excited about things. It's infectious..I'm excited about Africa now and I'm not going!!
No doubt Ross will keep us updated on his adventure as he lives it.
I only hope he comes back as the cynical bastard I know and love and not some enlightened freak!!

She's Bloody Well Moving Alright....
We have been out today with my Mum looking round her new house.
She has been desperate to move from her present address since the day my Dad died (which was 9 days after they moved in) and has been waiting since January to get a look at her new place.
There is a touch of the Peter Kay about it...her new home is in a complex of sheltered houses...Mum is only 54! They are really designed for those who may be afraid living alone or may need help. As Mum has been recently widowed and has arthritis they decided to give her one.
Anyway we went for a nose round today. The verdict? It's the very fellow. Quite spacious, all brand new and shiny.
Quite frankly there was no need for us to go and view it at all. She was moving in whether she liked it or not! Both my sister and I are immensley glad to get her shifted I can assure you!
So all going to plan she'll be fully ensconsed in 7 days from now.
It feels a bit strange having her in sheltered housing at 54 but it saves us the bother of putting her in a home when she gets old!

There's An Election Coming...
So we're off to the polls on May 5th then. Well some of us are. Apparently less than 49% of us are likely to vote.
I already know who I'm voting for and why. Maybe you do as well. In any event I will give you my opinion on the matter in a future post, after all everyone is entitled to my opinion!

Chaz And Millie...
So at long last Charlie Boy has made an honest woman of Camilla. About bloody time.
I don't give a toss if he becomes King one day...I don't give a toss if she becomes Queen. To me this was a love story. Simple as that.
Camilla has waited 35 years for her Prince and has finally bagged him even though the public once thought she was the devils work.
I for one wish they had married all those years ago...they would have been happy and Diana would probably still be alive and living her life with someone else.
Diana was undoubtedly an asset to the Royal family but she was not a victim of it, she was a victim of circumstance and she was as good as any at manipulation when it was needed. Camilla would probably have been a safer bet all round even way back then. She looks every inch the suitable escort for our future King. Much more so than a young, beautiful, naive, immature, unstable girl who wanted the status and the freedom as well.
Camilla has taken a lot of stick over the years, all those comments about her being ugly and frumpy, but yesterday she looked radiant and her and Charlie made a great looking couple.
I hope they have a long and happy marriage.
PS - Someone ought to tell HM the Queen that it is rude to wear Ivory or White to a wedding when you are not the bride. Oh and a few smiles wouldn't go amiss either..could she look anymore miserable??

I don't give a toss if he becomes King one day...I don't give a toss if she becomes Queen. To me this was a love story. Simple as that.
Camilla has waited 35 years for her Prince and has finally bagged him even though the public once thought she was the devils work.
I for one wish they had married all those years ago...they would have been happy and Diana would probably still be alive and living her life with someone else.
Diana was undoubtedly an asset to the Royal family but she was not a victim of it, she was a victim of circumstance and she was as good as any at manipulation when it was needed.

Coming Through..Lady On Crutches!!!
Out of the way...coming through..mad woman on crutches....
Yes, I've had a disaster!
Yesterday I decided to break into a little sprint while crossing the road. Don't ask what happened..I never felt a thing! I got back in the car and my foot hurt like hell.
I spent yesterday hopping around refusing to go to hospital as you do. Today though I felt the need to concede defeat and made my way to casualty.
Turns out I've pulled the ligaments and/or tendons in my heel. The achilies or something! Apparently I'm lucky as I haven't torn it which would have resulted in 8 weeks in a plaster cast!
I am now bandaged up to the knee and in possession of a pair of crutches!!
Anyone who has ever had crutches will know that as well as a sore foot I now have sore armpits!! Christ they're hard work! I'm a danger to those around me when I'm on them!
So it's complete rest for the next few days then trying to get moving it again. I've to go to Physio for help with that which I'm sure will be fun!
On the plus side...I have some great painkillers which make me feel totally out of it and I did get a win on the horses yesterday, which is just as well as I was leaving the bookies when this happened!
